I went last week while visiting some friends in Lisbon. The staff were friendly from the time we stepped into the door. Being the only American (and non-western-slavic-language-speaker) in the bunch, I thanked our server for opening my beer in Russian. She was incredibly gracious about my language faux-pas, and even replied with the traditional Russian toast for drinking "za zdorovye".
